My car battery in the mk1 can't survive a week without going flat. Trying to work out what's draining the battery. I replaced the battery. The boot light bulb is out. Which component is taking excessive current?

I can and do put it on trickle charge, but it's more of a concern when I take the car away for holidays and business.

Thanks.

Thank you for the good advice.

Had the battery off car for a few days testing and this is all good. Holding charge and good voltage.

Testing for Amps my car is drawing 0.3 Amps. Is this typical for a Tuscan? That's all locked with Alarm active.

Thanks again.
